It’s not uncommon for an announcer to keep score, run the scoreboard, or even open a penalty box door when needed, but bake cookies? Yes, that’s what Diana Thomas was asked to do by current NHLer Tanner Pearson upon receiving a penalty. Well, kind of.
“Tanner would lean over and have a bite so the coach wouldn’t see,” said Thomas. “I brought him a bag of cookies after that.”
Not only has Thomas served as the P. A. announcer for the Waterloo (Ontario) Siskins, but also as the official scorer of the most recent World Junior Hockey Championship which was played in Toronto.
She’s also held announcing roles with sports and teams near her, while once announcing while on a trip to Germany.
